Chapter 11
Rei froze on the spot as she stared into the impassive blank green orbs that belonged to none other then Trowa. He stood stalk still nothing moving. Rei even started to wonder if he could still blink as she took in the condition of his face. His skin had piled so much that it made hospital sheets look dull compared to this. She waved a gloved hand in front of the boy, but no movement came from him. "Trowa….speak to me…" she said as her own expression on her face softened turning back into the same one Trowa knew so well.
Still he stood plane as day as still as a statue and the more he stood glued to that particular spot the more Rei worried. His face showed a mix of emotions including fear, shock anger, and betrayal just to name a few. Not to mention those eyes looked at her, or rather through her. A tear slowly ran down his cheek and with one gloved finger she whipped it away only to have more join it as a steady stream begun to leak from both eyes.
She ran to him and embraced him in a hug as the tears continued to fall. "Gomen ne Trowa." She whispered repeatedly as she allowed his emotions to spill from his eyes and onto her fuku. Once he had no more tears to shed, his legs gave out from under him and Rei caught him as he slipped into her arms.
Forgetting about her nightly mission for a moment Trowa taking High priority for now. She blamed her self for him being like this fearing she had caused it as she ran back to the outside of the circus where their trailers were held. Slipping into her own she detransformed and sat by His side until he awoke from his slumber stroking her thumb over the back of his hand humming a soothing tune. :How could I be so stupid: she started to scold herself. :I should have been able to see it: she added. As a meaningless after thought.
Hours later Trowa begun to stir from his slumber. As his head cleared, he saw Rei, but as how he had always known her, and not Sailor mars. He had so many questions nagging at him, but couldn't to think of what to ask her first. "Thanks Rei can I have some water?" he asked his voice barely above a hushed whisper at the moment.
"Sure of chores…." Rei said with a pause before adding, "So how are you feeling?"
"I am not quite sure, I just feel like I had gotten hit by a bus." Trowa responded after downing over half the glass of water handed to him.
Rei couldn't help but laugh at the mental picture Trowa had just provided. As he spoke she started to think that her transformation might have triggered something in his past and it had caused him great pain. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that her transformation wasn't the problem, but rather her.
"So Rei have you been here the whole time?" Trowa suddenly asked which broke Rei from her own thoughts.
"Hai, after you fainted I brought you here. So you're in my trailer." She explained as she started to make up the couch for her to sleep on while she allowed Trowa to take her bed.
"Thank you Rei for all that you have done for me. But, don't you want your bed? I can take the couch …really its no problem. Or, I could just return to my own bed." Trowa offered moving to sit, but before he could get very far Rei gently but forcefully pushed him back into the bed.
"Iie Trowa you need to rest. I'll be fine on this and you take my bed." Rei argued as she sat down beside him trying to make sure he didn't dare try to move.
Trowa clung to Rei as more flashbacks struck him as he came up with another idea. "Rei…what if…" he started as he felt a blush snaking its way up his cheeks. "Well…what I mean is…could you stay with me…I won't do anything I promise..." Trowa asked afraid of her reply.
Rei felt a blush burning its way onto her cheeks as she nodded. Anything for you Trowa-kun." Came her response as she excused herself to change into suitable night clothes. Once she returned she slipped in alongside Trowa Once Rei was next to him he fell to a peaceful sleep.
As the colony set itself up to sleep, a stream of guiding landing lights shot out as they directed an approaching shuttle. The pilot spoke little as he departed watching his every move. Pulling off his helmet he shook his head his already messy styled brown hair flowing wildly about only to fall back into place. Cobalt eyes scanned the area searching for a good escape root as he softly made his way through knocking out or killing anyone that dared to block him form entering the main colony.
Upon touching ground he had begun to search for any sign of circus activity remembering all to well that Trowa had informed him of traveling the root of one in order to hide. Not knowing the extent of the damage done to him from the accident he had to assume that he lived and had gone back to it as quickly as he possible could have what with OZ hunting them down still like dogs. Little did he know at the time, was that Trowa had lost all of his memories. Yet, as long as Rei remained by his side, slowly but surly he started to regain them.
The young man paused again searching around in hopes of finding the trailer that housed his friend. By this time night had given way to early morning, and Trowa's so called sister was about doing early morning chores. Her shoes causing the grass to make crunching sounds caused Heero to freeze and try to take another root, but before he could she spotted him.
Spilling the contents of her bucket on the ground she charged at him swinging the object around acting like it was her greatest weapon. "Calm down, I am here only to talk to Trowa, not take him." Hero said smoothly not letting her actions bother him in the least.
"That is what they all say…" she hissed venom Cleary in her voice as she spoke.
"You have some serious letting go issues. I'd shoot you now, but I would rather not cause a seine just yet." Heero responded his voice flat void of any and all emotion. A dangerous look crossed his eyes, and when Cathy caught a glimpse of them she backed off in fear.
"Gomen Nasi…" she muttered before racing off to finish her morning chores taking the now empty pale off and refill it with water.
A smirk flashed across his lips as he continued to search. Upon reaching one trailer, not only did he find Trowa, but someone else as well. It wasn't so much that Trowa and someone were in a trailer together, but that as Trowa slept his arm hung loosely across the figure in the bed.
As Heero moved around to another window for a better look, Trowa stirred blinking his one visible eye open stretching. A small smile graced his features as he climbed over Rei hoping this action wouldn't disturb her slumber. Thankfully she slept on as if Trowa hadn't been there in the first place. However, when a knock sounded on her trailer door, Rei did become jolted awake wondering who might be on the other side. Making sure her clothes were straight and nothing improper showed, she opened it but froze at the sight before her.
There Heero stood in all his glory aiming his trade mark gun right at her chest. Rei didn't know how to take the turn of events, but quickly set her sights on anger. "Who do you think you are coming in here like this aiming a gun at me!" she screamed getting the attention of Trowa, who seemed to suddenly appear aside Rei in the door frame.
At the sight of Trowa, Heero lowered his gun on Rei, but Rei's anger didn't diminish that quickly. "Trowa…" Heero whispered.
Trowa paused in thought seeming confused upon hearing his name. His mind searched for the voice and something he could match it with. For several long moments no one spoke, but Rei's temper continued to boil as she waited for the answer to her question. Finally Trowa spoke, "Heero?" he whispered but it seemed so lost and confused as if he couldn't remember or wasn't quite sure.
Heero allowed an equal look of confusion to frame his features as he looked to Rei then back to Trowa. "You really don't remember me do you?" the young Japanese boy asked.
"Faintly," Trowa replied as he searched his for more clues.
"Does someone want to be so kind as to clue me in!" Rei shouted causing both Trowa and Heero to look at her strangely.
"As you may or may not know, during an under cover mission there was an explosion and Trowa was thought to have died, but it appears he has survived it." Heero said leaving out the details of the 'mission' that had caused the accident not knowing one, Rei already knew, and two she had seen the explosion being replied on the news upon her arrival. However, since a lot more questions needed to be answered she chose to hold off on what she knew.
"So what brings you back out here?" Trowa asked recalling more about hero as he talked.
"I had come to ask you for your help. I ran into this girl by the name of Kayla, and she seemed to possess strange powers and abilities. She saved me from the OZ troops and I intern saved her. Yet, now that I think about it I may have not dropped her off in such a safe location.
At the word Kayla, Rei's temper flared once more and before Heero could predigested that Rei didn't disappear, he found himself nailed to a wall her hand glowing a bright orange as a fireball danced on her palm inches from his face. "Now what were you saying about Kayla. What kind of trouble is she in, who is after her? And most of all where is she!" Rei hissed out not giving him much room to answer.
"I dropped her in a medical hospital/lab on my way to finish something when the structure she was in started to cave in around her." Heero said as coolly as ever no hint of fear on his face or in his eyes as well as in his voice as he spoke.
Rei relaxed her grip and nodded. "Alright we'll have to go after here that is for sure." She thought aloud as she searched for where she placed her cell phone calling the other senshi on it just as she had found word of where her friend was now located.
